This antique circa 1816 engraving/etching captures the soaring Gothic interior of a cathedral, with its intricate fan vaulting and majestic stone arches rendered in fine detail. Figures placed within the vast space emphasize the grandeur and scale of the architecture, evoking a sense of reverence and awe. This 1816 hand-engraved architectural plate depicts the magnificent fan-vaulted interior of the Divinity School at the University of Oxford. Executed by John Le Keux after Augustus Pugin, it exemplifies the precision and reverence with which early 19th-century artists documented England’s Gothic heritage. The engraving showcases the interplay of light and shadow across the vaulted ceiling and traceried windows, with fine linework characteristic of the copperplate process. A work of both artistic and historical importance, it stands as part of Britton’s Architectural Antiquities of Great Britain — among the most influential publications in English architectural history.
